So, got the tranny x member buttoned up and installed, turned out pretty good too. New poly tranny mount too.
With the weather here descent for a day, I figured it was bout the last opportunity to shoot the inner fenders and core support, so I setup my "Paint Booth".....aka driveway mixed up some paint and finally after too many hours of cutting, welding, sanding, priming, sanding, priming, wipe down clean and then some more of all that above, I shot some paint on them and the core support.
Pulled them inside to dry after they had setup for a few minutes. Bodywork looks awesome for my skillset and background. Paint turned out pretty descent as well, little orange peely on one and some specs in the other but keep in mind that I shot these in my driveway.
Inner fenders will have nothing mounted on them, all the holes were filled along with the battery tray on both inner fenders totally deleted. Should be a good look, nice and smooth.
Worked a little bit on the front of the motor, got the dirty dingo idler relocation bracket bolted onto the freshly blasted and painted accessory bracket. Looks descent.
Moved the steam port a little to make room for the ls1 intake, moved the electric throttle body from the truck over to the ls intake and got it set in place. Water pump installed, power steering pump back in place and got the power steering lines all figured out. Good Progress.
Needed to get the bed mounted up to figure out where to cut out for the gas filler door. So we moved the bed from my driveway over onto the frame to see how she looked for the first time.
Rear stance is pretty descent, According to my preliminary measurements, should tuck wheel in the rear on the 20x11 rears =)
